Hat tip to the Twins bullpen. I give them lots of grief, today they were spectacular.

Hard to blame Gallo for that gaffe. He’s never stood at second longer than it takes to pass it on a home run trot

Huge opportunity for Correa here, and no need to worry about a double play.

My response was directed at Bochy's actions but math and reading aren't part of game threads.

The proper mover for Rocco was to do nothing once the 3 batter minimum was passed.  Of course, then he would have to sit on his hands in the 9th.  Julien was almost sure to never get an at bat today after the 8th inning. 

He did get his R on L matchup, the move was also completely justifiable.

Bochy played Baldelli like a fiddle, as previously noted.

It's ok to admit it.

Did you bother to read what I was responding to?

I only disagree with you in the sense that if Rocco is anticipating Bochy to respond with a pitching change to a left hander then it should have been Gallo and not Julien as the announced ph. If you announce Julien then use him. If you want to sub Vasquez for Gallo I'm ok with that. Now the only bench guy is Gallo with his 50% K rate.

I would agree with that option as well.  Maybe Gallo is held back for positional flexibility but it would have been a better move for that inning.  Either way, the lefty doesn't hit.  Rocco got the matchup he was looking for.  If Velazquez gets a hit he's a genius.

My initial post was in response to deifying Bochy.  Unfortunately we can't let reading get in the way of some good negativity.

Dick is screaming about every ball put in play. Why no bunt with Lewis? 

Because hes one of our best bats and they would just walk Jeffers and set up the DP for Vazquez or have us use Gallo
